Sometimes, putting together the best complement of everyday carry gear means diversifying as much as possible. You can be just as prepared for a classed-up luncheon as you can an emergency situation without decking yourself out in gaudy or cumbersome gear – you just need to know where to look. Lucky for you, we’ve put together this week’s pocket dump with a mixture of carry-friendly items that can work just as well for minimalists, survivalists, urbanites, and your average everyday carry enthusiasts alike. Because, as much as possible, looking like you’ve got your stuff together and actually being ready for a wide array of contingencies should go hand in hand.
